D Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration, and out of
position.
D Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connection, dent and
damage.

data.
D Check nearby body areas damaged, missing, or mispositioned
part, open seam, hole connection or any other defect which could
permit exhaust fumes to seep into vehicle.

ance from underbody to avoid overheating and possible damage
to passenger compartment carpet.
D Any defect should be fixed at once.
